Aren’t you a little worried that now that you’ve been publishing a book and even going on reddit to tell us about these things, that they are going to try to find you and possibly do something terrible to you?

If I was in a cult with that much control of a certain area, I would be scared shitless.

Interesting that you mentioned not to change your playing based on the orchestra. I recently attended a Q and A with another young orchestral oboist/horn and he said that while he got the job for NY Phil, in some orchestral auditions for lower level regional orchestras he didn’t even past the first round. I always thought it was a good idea to figure out what each orchestra’s “style” and try to adhere to that when playing excerpts. Maybe it’s a matter of opinion, but could you expand on this?

I can’t speak for OP or the Indianapolis symphony, but Im gonna assume accepting musicians based on their race is counterintuitive towards the fight for breaking down stereotypical barriers of non-white/Asian musicians. Could be wrong tho, I’m curious to see OP’s reply.

Do you believe mending conflict between south and North Korea is possible? The summit between the two leaders and unified Olympic team seems like a major breakthrough for both sides of the country.
